  i was just listening to my new nicole c. mullen cd (she rocks!!

  ) and i had this thought...... i really enjoy christian rock music now, but i had never listened to it as a jw because i wasn't allowed.

  so instead i listened to that every uplifting ac/dc, metalica, scorpions (still favorites of mine).. the society did release the "kingdom melodies" on tape though and everyone bought the complete set.....did anyone here ever really enjoy that music?

  yes si, when you say a bit of a joke, I was a sucker for buying them and actually got rid of them even before leaving the org.
  We even joked about the kingdom melodies while in the truth e.g. if someone had a walkman on, "listening to -now that's what I call kingdom melodies 93?"

  > A MORAL
  A woman and a man are involved in a car accident; it's a bad one.
  Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither
  of them are hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days". Flattered, the man replied, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely!""This must be a sign from God!" The woman continued, "and look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle and immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man. The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police...." MORAL OF THE STORY: Women are sneaky bitches. Don't mess with them.

  I actually bought them all just because I was in the habit of handing money over every time something new arrived from the great publishing company. Although I didn't like the arrangements of the songs, I did used to practice the piano with them and still feel like playing them sometimes, if not hum the tunes. Weird eh?

  dmouse, some of us predicted a small rise in publishers when the announcement was made a few months back to include those with only 15 mins time to book as publishers. Do not also forget the drop or change in pioneer hours which would actually exagerate any drop in the number.

  Gurdeep,
  firstly welcome.
  secondly, please ignore Fred Hall and others like him and a warning that this is a completely open site which occasionally attracts fringe members of the organisation. i.e. those daring enough to ignore the Watchtower's advice to not talk to strangers on the internet who come in with the goal of causing havoc.
  thirdly. Please tell your story. It is my personal opinion that while the organisation is declining over here, it is still spreading over your neck of the woods. Is this correct?

  don't worry - i'm not thinking of joining.

  in fact i've heard lots of dodgey stories about them including them being a money grabbing, brain washing cult.. just wondered how wide spread they are though.

  they have a big base near here.

  Basically, their head office is near my town centre so when new recruits say they cannot afford books and "auditing" they are told they can sell the books in the street and earn their requirements through gaining recruits. Interesting eh?
  It was off one such recruit I bought the book and went for one free hypnosis session. Close escape. After the auditing session (which felt like hypnosis and where I lost track of time) I was taken first to a seductive witch-like women who really entranced me further, and then on to a lab where I had to hold these metal cylinders connected to a machine with wires and answer questions. I presume some kind of lie detector.

  An interesting footnote about the lie detector was that as she played with the knobs on the machine, I had like a surging sensation in my chest and I had to kind of cough to make my heart beat agian. Weird experience and I cannot explain it.
